Understanding Brachioplasty: The Solution for Flabby Arms

Lohner Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive arm lift procedures designed to address loose, unsightly upper arm tissue. Often referred to as 'bingo wings', excess arm skin can develop through aging, genetic factors, or significant weight loss.

What is an Arm Lift?

A brachioplasty, or arm lift, is a surgical procedure specifically designed to reduce and tighten loose upper arm tissue. This transformative surgery removes excess fatty and skin tissue, creating a more contoured and youthful arm appearance.

Key Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

• Improved arm contour and definition
• Enhanced self-confidence
• More comfortable clothing fit
• Long-lasting aesthetic results

Ideal Candidates for Brachioplasty

Candidates for arm lift surgery typically include individuals with:

• Significant loose or hanging skin on upper arms
• Stable body weight
• Good overall health
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

The Arm Lift Procedure

During a brachioplasty, Dr. Lohner will make a thin incision along the inner arm, removing excess skin and fat. The procedure typically takes one to two hours and is performed as an outpatient surgery.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial recovery to take approximately three to seven days. Some swelling and minor discomfort are normal during the first week. A compression garment will be worn to support healing and optimize results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While brachioplasty is generally safe, potential risks include scarring, temporary sensation changes, and minimal asymmetry. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Lohner minimizes these risks.
